>What's the minimum spacing one should use between plants, and between rows? Depends on the size (or expected size) of the mature plants. I try to keep at least 24" between rows and between plants, but my garden is small and sometimes I "bunch" plants. Last season, I planted my savinas 24" apart in their row, but they grew together like a hedge - they were so thick and bushy I couldn't believe it. === Dave Sacerdote davesas@tiac.net Resist or Serve.
